"Best Lists" are a popular thing in the whiskey world. We love to hate them. Many times they seem like they just threw top big named brands on a list to get clicks. Will found one from Vinepair touting "the 11 Best Single-Barrel Bourbons (2021), and he thought he would get Greeze's thoughts on it. 

Then, after the 15, they try a product that made the list that they had not had: Jim Beam Single Barrel 108 proof.

Back when we first started the show in 2016, we did a review of some glassware. We thought it would be a good time to update our review and expand that glassware list, as we have used a lot of different glasses over the years. We use the Norlan, Kenzie, Glencairn, SPIEGELAU Premium Whiskey Snifter, Terrane Franklin Glass, to see how they change the nose and palate of the same whiskey.

Will and Greeze were joined by Jack Daniel’s Master Distiller Chris Fletcher for this latest edition of “Drinkin’ With…” Chris was named Master Distiller of the Jack Daniel’s Distillery in Lynchburg, TN in October of 2020. Will and Greeze get to know him a little, what this last year has been like for him, and asked what’s to come at the distillery. Chris has worked in many roles at this distillery in his career, including as Assistant Distiller prior to taking the helm as Master Distiller. He is also the grandson of legendary Jack Distiller Frank Bobo. We hope you enjoy this and learn as much as we did, and look forward to the Chris Fletcher era at Jack Daniels.

With the announcement that Molson Coors is getting in the whiskey game with a premium blended American whiskey named 5 Trails Whiskey, Will and the Greeze decided to cut them off at the pass by making their own blend. Using only the finest Kentucky bourbon and blending it with Coors Banquet Beer. 

Then, after the 15, they review Maker's Mark 46. While not a new product by any means, this is the first time that Will and Greeze have had it on the show.
